Fundamentals of Distributed Systems: Consensus, 2PC/3PC, CAP Theorem, and Logical Clocks
This article introduces core distributed‑system concepts—including the definition of consensus, the two‑phase and three‑phase commit protocols, the CAP theorem and its engineering implications, and logical‑clock mechanisms such as Lamport timestamps, vector clocks, and version vectors—explaining their models, challenges, and practical trade‑offs.
